Unicorn enthusiasts will be disappointed to learn that the extinct creature – also known as Elasmotherium sibiricum – had more in common with rhinos or woolly mammoths than fictional unicorns, however.

It is believed to have been up to 2 meters (6.6ft) tall, and 4.5 meters (14.7ft) in length.

They escaped the bitter cold of Siberia by taking shelter in caves.

Remains discovered in Russia's Altai region in 2010 are believed to date back as long 110,000 years ago.
